The Claim;
"I am done with the stats. Every time we relax about the covid they say another variant comes out to keep everyone worried. Its a hoax. Done with it. The science is bull***. There was 30,000 at omak stampede last night wonder how many they say will have covid now? Again, 105 degrees, outside, it’s all a joke. Glad to see all these events going on. Seahawks preseason games is sold out. 63,000 let’s see how many they say have covid after that? It’s toral bukkshit. Screw science and facts.

The Facts;

"Man who believed virus was hoax loses wife to Covid-19"
Deadly conspiracy theories
Erin, a pastor in Florida, had existing health problems - she suffered from asthma and a sleeping disorder.
Her husband explained that the couple did not follow health guidance at the start of the pandemic because of the false claims they had seen online.
Brian continued to work as a taxi driver and to collect his wife's medicine without observing social distancing rules or wearing a mask.
They had also failed to seek help as soon as possible when they fell ill in May and were both subsequently diagnosed with Covid-19.
Brian told BBC News that he "wished [he'd] listened from the beginning" and hoped his wife would forgive him.
"This is a real virus that affects people differently. I can't change the past. I can only live in today and make better choices for the future," Brian explained.
"She's no longer suffering, but in peace. I go through times missing her, but I know she's in a better place."
'This thing is real'
Brian said he and his wife didn't have one firm belief about Covid-19. Instead, they switched between thinking the virus was a hoax, linked to 5G technology, or a real, but mild ailment. They came across these theories on Facebook.
"We thought the government was using it to distract us," Brian explained, "or it was to do with 5G."
But after the couple fell ill with the virus in May, Brian took to Facebook in a viral post to explain that he'd been misled by what he'd seen online about the virus.
"If you have to go out please use wisdom and don't be foolish like I was so the same thing won't happen to you like it happened to me and my wife," he wrote."
